The Food for Tomorrow is in the Seeds of Today.

Urban farming has been the buzzword for quite a few years now but in reality has more of a downtown vibe. Then there's the country where the “real” farms are, but in between is suburbia. Yards and lawns that can be used to fill in pockets of food deserts. New developments bulldozed and then never replaced with anything that creates biodiversity. This is where suburban farming can thrive - all it needs to do so is an empowerment to learn and an ability to connect with others face-to-face.

Combating climate change with a new format of growing food in suburban agriculture means saving the seeds that thrived the year before. Saving seeds means that seed has the knowledge and genetics of how to survive the microclimate it grew in. Large nursery and seed companies grow in ideal growing conditions for that variety, making it harder for seeds to thrive in a home or small farm environment. This is how the knowledge for seeds comes into play - by focusing on seeds Tomorrow's Garden can teach people how best to use and save those seeds year after year, and advocate for food sovereignty for tomorrow and beyond.
